A maternity session at the beach has a special feel due to the golden sunlight, peaceful ocean breezes, and the tranquility that comes with watching the waves come in. Carlsbad Beach is one of the greatest places to capture these moments, and San Diego beach maternity photography is undoubtedly one of my favorites!

I recently had the best session with a gorgeous mother, her husband, and their soon-to-be big brother. Carlsbad Beach was the best setting for their maternity photos, since they wanted to have a laid-back, organic feel. The cliffs in the background, the low tide, and the stunning golden light created the ideal photographs!

We had a few playful moments to start the session since big brother was a bit shy and we wanted to get those adorable giggles out of him. We slowed down as the sun began to set in order to document those sweet, private moments and cuddles. Photographing families as they grow from one to two children is always so special. It’s a time of mixed emotions that should be chronicled!

The finest golden tones are always brought out at sunset on the beach, and this evening was no different. Every picture felt magical because of the way the light surrounded this glowing mother. Embracing motherhood is the main theme of San Diego beach maternity photography, and this session served as the best reminder of why I enjoy my work.
